One of them forced the man to walk from room to room while demanding money and property, police said, while the other found the victim's wife, 72, in the master bedroom and demanded money and property from her, police said.

After the bandits gathered cash and jewelry, they tied the hands of both victims behind their backs, put them in the master bedroom, then left the home, police said.

The victims were able to free themselves and called 911 after the suspects left, police said. They were not injured, according to police.
